The kits were provided by the non-governmental Kids and Teens Resource Center,which now counsels and tests volunteers for the virus. According to Issa, “in Kwara State, Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed has health sector as one of his cardinal policies”

Speaking at the event, the Executive Director of Kids and Teens Resource Center, Falana Martin-Mary, described HIV/AIDS as a major developmental challenge that has dealt a dirty blow to the world, with gross negative impact on the people.
